Kevin Lee Candler
April 8, 1976 - September 20, 2021
Kevin Lee Candler, 45, of Sutter, passed away on September 24th, 2021, due to complications from COVID-19 at St Elizabeth Community Hospital in Red Bluff, California. Kevin was born in Yuba City, California, on April 8th, 1976, and was a lifelong resident of the community. Kevin spent the last 16 years with the love of his life, Yvonne Mahoney. He has two amazing sons, Maddox Carson Lee Candler (8) of Sutter, and Chad Ryan Candler (21) of Maysville. Kevin was the loving step-father to William Carl Lyle IV (23) of Chico, and Kylee Amaya Lynn Lyle (21) of Sutter. Kevin was a proud employee of Pacific Gas & Electric Company where his talents shined as a Contract Administrator. Prior to his time with PG&E Kevin spent 25 years in the beverage industry working for 7up, Coke and Berkley Farms. Kevin's dedication and passion to succeed made him an excellent role model at work and in his personal life. Kevin was good at everything he did, but his love for baseball, fishing, poker, racing and karaoke were unmatched. Early on Kevin illustrated great talent on the baseball field. He was a standout pitcher at Marysville High School from 1990-1994 and our local newspaper regularly named him as athlete of the week. Kevin's love for the game carried on into adulthood where he enjoyed playing recreational softball with friends. Kevin was an avid fisherman and could frequently be found fishing from the back of his houseboat at Englebright Lake; that was his true happy place. Kevin lived life to the fullest and was always up for a good time. Although Kevin's life was cut short he touched the lives of so many and his big presence and smile will be greatly missed. Kevin is survived by his mother and step-father, Cheryl and Tod Peacock; loving wife, Yvonne; sons, William, Chad and Maddox; daughter, Kylee; sister, Kelly Ries; brothers, Garrett and Riley Peacock; and many nieces and nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Kevin is preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Virble (Vern) and Caryl Larner; and father, Terry Candler.
